That antenna should work just fine. Since you're mounting up on the roof, your antenna height will be more like 20 feet instead of 10. Rerunning your report with the anticipated antenna height will probably show improved results for the Youngstown stations.

Since you have Cleveland and Youngstown stations virtually 180 degrees apart, you might consider aiming the antenna towards Youngstown first. You have a lot of margin to give (except, perhaps, with WOIO) with the Cleveland stations. Even with an actual gain of -10 dB or so in the back lobe, you should still be able to get a solid lock on them.
